FAQ: Instant Deposit for Derivatives
1. How does instant deposit eligibility differ for crypto purchases vs derivatives?
While activation grants general access, derivative trading imposes additional criteria. Users may deposit maximum amounts but only allocate portions to derivatives.
2. What happens if I upgrade my Crypto.com Visa card?
Limits update within 24 hours of card tier upgrade.
3. When do trading limits reset?
- Daily eligibility checks
- Full limit restoration: Weekly at 00:00 UTC Sunday
4. What if my instant deposit fails?
- Outstanding balances may trigger asset liquidation
- Existing derivative positions remain unaffected until closure
5. How do settled funds impact limits?
Settled amounts replenish used limits, making funds available again for trading.
